Invariants, Modularity, and Rights

Abstract. The quest for modular concurrency reasoning has led to recent proposals that extend program assertions to include not just knowledge about the state, but rights to access the state. We argue that these rights are really just sugar for knowledge that certain updates preserve certain invariants.
